Chronic Pain

A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here

REASONS FOR CHRONIC PAIN

Chronic pain is a problem that exists for many reasons, and some of them have very little to do with the injury. Pain and discomfort are the way your body reacts to various stresses. It can be and usually is an inflammation that brings the on the pain. People addicted to pain medicine are many time participating in the process, by their eating habits, weight problems, posture, exercise routine or lack of.

LIFESTYLE ISSUES

To kick your chronic pain may mean changing your lifestyle. At the root of the problem are stress, weight, carbs, appetite, and energy related issues. Any thing that you can do different like going from a sedentary lifestyle to a more active way of life, changing to healthy diet will go a long way to reduce inflammation. There is a link between the mechanism of inflammation, and pain.

PRESCRIPTIONS

Millions of people take prescriptions for chronic pain called [nsaid’s] and can encounter a myriad of problems. Pain pills are addictive, and have toxic side effects.

INFLAMMATION

Much of the miseries of age-related pain, including arthritis are the inflammatory processes at work. A lifetime of exposure to substances that are known to cause oxidative stress will cause inflammation. Many nutrients protect us from oxidation stress and inhibit the inflammatory response.

DIET

Dietary control is one of the first lines of defense in what we call chronic pain. When you overwhelm the body with things that cause the body to react in a way the produces joint stiffness, muscle soreness, arthritis, osteoporosis, cardiovascular problems, and age-related decline you have a chronically elevated production of the inflammatory reactions. Putting it all together causes the inevitable cascading events that will lead to both chronic health problems and the pain associated with it.

STUCTURAL

The key here is to offset the structural alterations that occur as we age that can lead to discomfort, pain, and loss of mobility. These changes are a reflection of lifetime activities. Exercise that build muscles help align the body’s structure.

NUTRITIONAL SUBSTANCES

There are inflammatory mediators that help preserve the cells integrity. It is crucial to avoid impaired immunity, and to optimize, and utilize the proper nutrients. There is nutritional substatances that calm the inflammatory process. These would include vegetables, fruits, herbs, and omega 3 fatty acids.

Natural methods are so much more effective than prescription pain medication. Combating the pain of arthritis means stopping the inflammation, not turning to something to cover or dull the pain. Pills do not produce wellness; good nutrition will speed up recovery from injury, and prevent the multiple factors that cause joints to wear out.

What you need to know is not the name of some new pain medication, but the benefits of proper nutrition, and conditioning. Building a better tomorrow means building a better body, though nutrition. This will help you kick your chronic pain to the sideline.
